Request a REACTION

New subscriber here - I've never gotten a good handle on hybrid picking. Looking forward to your lessons on it. In the meantime - would love to see your reaction to what Richard Thompson is doing with it in this song, particularly the insane pedal steel bend stuff he gets into. Thanks for what you do!

This is a very good version of the song

Fun tune! Thanks for reacting to A Tear For Eddie, Michael!

Personally, I feel like John Mayer is an extremely underrated guitar player in the general publics eyes. He's Extremely well known for his radio stuff, but not nearly as well known for his incredible guitar playing.
This song is the perfect example, the skill it takes it to play these lines and sing along with a full band is ridiculous. Check it out, You won't be dissapointed, I promise.

Two of the best jamming together

Ian Noe is an amazing singer/song writer that doesn’t get nearly the recognition that he deserves. I would love to see your reaction to this song. Very deep and well written.

Too good not to share. "Tuesday's just as bad!" If you can't feel what Ray is bringing you better put it away. 🎹🎶🎸

Michael, I've been subscribing to your channel for about 6 months now.
"Reaction" Videos got popular about a year or two ago...
Your videos are set apart from all the other ones I've watched because of your "authenticity" towards a true LOVE and appreciation for any and all music. When I see you get excited, or giddy, it makes me feel the same. I dig that. Also, your ability to articulate the tone, theory, progression, or even the "vibe" is uncanny. You spell out all the little nuances that most people may see or feel but cant put into words. You do it so easily. Its a gift.
I've been a music lover my whole life and have been playing guitar for a very long time.
I have a great ear and I will boast about my taste and diversity of music I listen to. However, my playing has plateau-ed for quite some time because of my refusal to practice and understand theory deeper. My pentatonic riffs, though polished, are limited.
I saw a short video on you explaining how to learn expanding your guitar vocabulary, and I thought to myself, you would be the PERFECT teacher. So I signed up for a one year subscription and I have more excitement and energy right now than any time in the last 10 years to pick it back up and play! Thank You!

THIS Video has been one of my favorites of the last year...
This band "The Main Squeeze" has made their licks covering classic songs in a wide span of genres.
The band is super tight, and the vocalist (Corey Frye) is on point.
Is it possible that the tastiest solo in the last 5 years could be a cover!?! I believe so!
Maximilian puts together one of the tastiest, most balanced guitar solos I've ever heard.
It was just one of those perfect nights, that may never be duplicated again, where the guitar became an extension of him. His mind, heart and soul was elevated, spiritually! :)
The TONE, the vibrato, the composition, the energy/passion that builds, man even the camera work.... its FLAWLESS!!!
Watch the band smile at him and build with him as he builds. The hair-raising progression shift and dynamic build at 5:30 is one of the greatest moments in recorded music history...SERIOUSLY!
Thanks for all you do! Keep it up, it would be awesome to meet one day and jam!
NOTE: 2nd solo (main solo) begins about 3:20 seconds in. ENJOY!

8:22 Warren Haynes murders this dynamic solo, pulling tempo which ever way he wishes and leading the band with his versatile melodic phrasing. Stefan and Carter have the deepest pocket and follow him seamlessly. Masterful Musicianship

A humbling chuckle for your Monday. GT and his ridiculous guitar chops when invited up by the beautiful, Orianthi, to sit in at NAMM 19. 🎸🔥😎

What? A 12 string resonator guitar. 4.2m views!

I know you've done a couple Marcus King videos recently but they've mostly been solo settings. In the video Marcus is with his band and I really think he thrives when he can just let loose. I've selected a roughly 10 minute clip from a live show that I was fortunate enough to attend and his fusion of jazz and blues on top of his killer tone and vocals are awesome! I'd love to hear you break down what's going on theory wise as this clip in particular really inspired me to learn more about mixing major modes with blues modes. Anyways, love this community, love the site, and please, please keep up the good work!
